RescalingTransform

RescalingTransform[{{x_min, x_max}, {y_min, y_max}, ...}, {{xp_min, xp_max}, ...}]
gives a TransformationFunction that rescales the region with coordinate ranges x_min to x_max, etc. to the region with coordinate ranges xp_min to xp_max, etc.

RescalingTransform[{{x_min, x_max}, {y_min, y_max}, ...}]
gives a TransformationFunction that rescales to the unit square, cube, etc.

MORE INFORMATION

RescalingTransform gives a TransformationFunction which can be applied to vectors.

RescalingTransform works in any number of dimensions. In 2D, it transforms rectangles to rectangles, and in 3D cuboids to cuboids.

Rescaling the rectangle [xmin, xmax]×[ymin, ymax] to [0, 1]×[0, 1]:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

This now maps {xmax, ymax} to {1, 1}:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Rescaling the cube [xmin, xmax]×[ymin, ymax]×[zmin, zmax] to [0, 1]×[0, 1]×[0, 1]:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

This maps {xmax, ymax, zmax} to {1, 1, 1}:

In[2]:=
